The New England Football Conference (NEFC) is an athletic conference which competes in football in the NCAA's Division III. Member teams are located in New England. The conference is divided into the Boyd Division and the Bogan Division. The two division champions compete in Division III football's only season-ending conference championship game.
Starting in 2013, the conference will split with the 7 Massachusetts state institutions and Plymouth State playing in the MASCAC for football. The conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division III playoffs will stay with the 8 remaining members: Curry, Endicott, Maine Maritime, MIT, Nichols, Salve Regina, Coast Guard, and Western New England. In the 12 seasons the NEFC has hosted a championship game between its two division winners, these remaining eight members have accounted for 16 of the 24 championship game participants and 8 of 12 conference champions.
